Looks great! One suggestion would be to change your pricing from $0.99/month to $11.99/year. Assuming you're going to use Stripe, you will be charged $0.65 in credit card fees if you charge yearly instead of monthly, which will cost you $3.94 per year. Since the service is so cheap, I doubt you'll see much price elasticity between the two price schemes. Even if you do see lower sales, you'll likely still end up making more profit because of the reduced CC fees.

We love Stripe and have the payment piece ready to go but we're still trying to figure out the different plans. Good point on the monthly/yearly pricing. The hosting costs are so pretty small so that even with millions of tasks, a user would only use a few MBs of storage, so instead of making a few cents per user per month and nickel&diming our users, we'd make it free for personal usage and try to monetize via other sources. Any thoughts/experiences/requests on the feature set and price points? What would you pay for a task list management system? What about a task collaboration platform (think multiple users collaboration, comments on tasks, file attachments etc)?
